McSwiggan was supposed to appear in the Los Angeles International Airport Courthouse on July 19th for his preliminary hearing, but couldn’t attend because of a family holiday in Spain — which we didn’t realize you were allowed to do.

But the West Hollywood Sheriff’s deputies charged McSwiggan with vandalizing a car in the 8900 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, who strongly disputed his claim:
Mr. McSwiggan was then observed injuring himself with the handle and receiver to a payphone inside the cell. Medical personnel were summoned and Mr. McSwiggan was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Mr. McSwiggan’s booking photo was taken prior to deputies seeing Mr. McSwiggan injuring himself.”

So he’ll stay out of America from now on, right? Why would a “not guilty” person miss a court date?

So we’re going to take a possible year sentence and make it longer. This boy needs to learn how to act like a grown-up.

His internet fame should now commence circling the drain.
